In other words, I think Sarah Palin's daughter was fair game from the moment on that Ms. Palin ran on a fundamentalist Christian-abstinence only-and look what a great mom I am ticket, with a daughter pregnant out of wedlock. The scandal wasn't that the daughter had sex before marriage and became pregnant, the scandal was that her mother clearly doesn't do what she preaches and preaches what is not a reality in her family, all the while holding herself up to be the guardian of some loopy kind of morality. Morality in my world is to be honest, not lie and not be a hypocrite. Sarah Palin fails in all three.
